Katniss's POV

My name is Katniss Everdeen. I'm 23 years old. I have a boyfriend named Gale, we've been dating for five years. I met him two weeks after my family's funeral. He was nice at first but turned really mean.

I don't work because Gale thinks I might leave him for someone else. I don't go outside except to throw out the trash because Gale thinks I'll run away. I haven't been outside for five years. My parents and little sister died in a car crash. I was with them but somehow survived. I feel guilt for living.

I look in the mirror and see my black eye. I look down at my wait and see gale's belt print. There's several bruises and scars on my body. This was all gale's doing.

I take in a shaky breath and look away from the mirror. I look at the clock on the nightstand.

6:34

Gale should be home in two hours. I need to start cooking dinner, I don't want to piss him off when he comes home with nothing to eat.

I put on some clothes, step out the bathroom, and head to the kitchen.

Once I'm there, I turn on the light in the kitchen and start to take out potatoes and carrots. I wash the vegetables and hear a knock on the door. No one ever comes by when Gale's not home.

I wipe my hands and head over to the door.

I see that it's just Greasy Sae. She lives down the street. I secretly have her over sometimes when Gale isn't here. I wish it were everyday but I can't because I'm scared someone will notice and tell Gale.

I open the door and say," Would you like to come in?"

"Thank you, dear," Sae says and steps into the house.

"Can I get you anything?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"I just wanted to let you know that I saw Gale going into a bar when I went to buy a pie from Mrs. Newman," She says; my heart sinks to my stomach.

"Oh," I say in fear. I feel myself start to shake; Sae places a hand on my arm.

"If anything happens, you come to me," She says but I shake my head.

"I can't, I'll get int trouble." I feel tears pooling around my eyes.

She nods and doesn't say anything for a good few seconds.

Moments later, she says," Then fight back."

"I'm not strong enough and it will piss him off even more," I say and a tear escapes my eye.

She wipes it and says," Why dont you call the police?"

"Gale is the police," I sniff.

Gale is a police officer. He has been for the past five years. Once, when he took me to a small party the police station was having, I noticed that he was well liked. So for me to go in there and announce that Gale has been abusing me for five years, will be complete and utter bullshit to them.

Sae lets out a sigh and pulls me in for a hug.

"You are a strong woman for dealing with this everyday," She says and pats my back.

I sniff and look at the clock," Sae, you better go, who knows when Gale will get home."

"Ok, dear," She says and gives me a kiss on the cheek." Keep your head held high and be strong."

I give her a small smile.

"Have a good day, Sae." I say and she nods.

As soon as she leaves the house, I get back to cutting vegetables. I quickly put everything I need into the pot and let it cook. I adjust the heat just as I hear the front door open. I turn and see that it's Gale. He's completely drunk.

"W- What are you doing?" He asks in a low, menacing voice.

"I-I'm cooking you a soup." I stutter in fear.

He grunts and says," Are you going to give me a welcome home kiss or what? Do you like someone else!"

"No!" I shake my head and give him a kiss on the lips. I try not to gag and he pulls back.

"You're worthless." he mutters.

I don't say anything and it anger him.

"I said you're worthless!" He yells and knocks a vase off the table. I flinch and he yells," Serve me dinner!"

"The soups not done yet," I flinch.

"I said serve me some dinner!" He yells and slaps me.

"Okay," I say in a small voice." I'll see what I can get you."

I head over to the fridge.

There's some left over lasagna from yesterday, this should do. I bend down to pick it up but I feel Gale's hands on my hips. He turns me around and presses his lips against mine. I feel his hands trailing down to my butt, causing me to squeeze my eyes shut really tight. I don't want him to touch me like that.

I feel him starting to pull down my pants so I stop him.

"Gale, stop," I shake my head and lift up my jeans.

"I own you, now shut the fuck up," He says and tries to lift down my jeans againt but I pull back.

"Stop," I say just as he attempts to rip my shirt off.

"Shut the fuck up!" he yells and punches me in the stomach.

The wind is immediately knocked out of me, leaving me gasping for air.

He starts to play with my pants again but I'm too occupied with focusing on breathing to do anything about it.

I see him unbuckling his belt and I panic. I try to get away from him but he smacks me. I fall onto the tile floor and taste blood in my mouth.

"I fucking hate you," He growls and kicks me in the face.

I lightly whimper and feel tears of pain spilling down my cheeks.

I slowly get up and remember what sae said,' Fight back.'

I feel him punch me in the stomach again and I fall to the floor. I try to catch my breath and attempt to get up again.

Once I'm up, I turn around and slap him across the face.

His eyes grow even more dark than they were before. His face gets red with anger and his hands start to shake.

He punches me in the face two times making me stumble backwards onto the counter. I grab the nearst thing around me and hit him in the stomach with it. I see his face fall still for a moment. Shortly after, he falls to the floor clutching his stomach. I look down and see a puddle of blood starting to form.

I gasp and cover my mouth.

Tears escape my eyes and I see that he's not moving.

I killed gale.
